I scoured the General Discussion forum and couldn't find a thread for this show. Looking through the search results I did, it seems a fair few of us watch this show. So, better late than never (it being the 5th season already and all...), let's have some AT discussion time!

Personally, the music got me into the show. I heard Olivia Olson singing the Fry song and had to know what heck this show was all about. 100+ episodes later, I'm not sure I have an answer to that question, nor do I care - I'm having one heck of a time enjoying the ride. My favorite (recent) episode has to be I Remember You. The feels, man, the feels.

I'm so behind on Adventure Time. I keep meaning to have a marathon to get myself up to date, but lacking the time/energy.

But YES I LOVE IT SO MUCH. And Bubblegum/Marceline is my OTP. The whimsical presentation of the show, and the music, and the humour, is just everything that appeals to me. It's the kind of thing that I knew would be right up my alley the moment I first saw it, and it hasn't disappointed.

Bubbline/Sugarless Gum is just one of many of my OTPs. Not much quality fanfiction out there for the pair, though. The fandom's obsession with the genderbent episode is a bit much, though. Sure, the episode was great, but it seems there's just as much work out there with Fionna as Finn. And with another genderbent episode coming up mid-February, it will only increase. I am really looking forward to it, though.

Overall, I feel this season so far has not been as strong as the previous two. It might have to do with Rebecca Sugar leaving the show to go do her own thing, or maybe the writers are running out of fresh ideas. While the show is still very enjoyable, I am not surprised or wowed by what they pull anymore. Maybe the novelty's wearing off for me?

tl;dr - Is there a downturn in quality in AT?

So, is anyone still watching this, now that CL is no longer going? There've been two 8-episode mini-series since the forum lockage that we could all discuss...
